2015 AUDI Q5 Premium Plus

This 2015 Audi Q5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage designation of FRONT END. The visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the salvage certificate itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed and folded, with sharp creases, torn edges, and exposed underlying components. The front bumper cover is detached and broken, with missing, displaced, and hanging sections. The grille assembly has been pushed forward, and surrounding bumper and lower-grille components are separated. The front headlamp areas are open and damaged, with the lighting assemblies absent or visibly broken. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are heavily crushed and torn. Plastic wheel-well panels and adjacent front-end components are broken, detached, or displaced, leaving internal areas exposed. Significant deformation is also visible at the left front cowl and lower windshield edge. The windshield has extensive cracking and shattered areas across the upper and central glass. The driver airbag is deployed, and curtain airbag material is visible along the driver-side roofline and side-window area. These systems, along with associated restraint components, will require inspection and likely replacement as part of the repair. Additional cosmetic damage includes scuffing on the left front door and light scuff marks across the rear bumper cover. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Audi Q5 SUV, Premium Plus trim, manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a 1.984-liter displacement; the decoder lists approximately 220 horsepower and E85 compatibility. Drive type and transmission details were not provided. NHTSA records list recalls for this model and year involving the auxiliary-heater wiring, sunroof drainage and side-airbag inflator corrosion, the 2.0-liter engine electric coolant pump, the gasoline fuel-pump flange, and certain side-airbag inflators on vehicles manufactured during a specified January–February 2015 production period. The recall remedies were described as free inspections, software updates, component replacement, or protective measures as applicable. Completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
